On the bank of the river at the entrance of the village, Li Yan looked at Zhang Xin in disbelief, his expression was extremely excited, and he expressed his disbelief.

When Zhang Xin saw Li Yan like this, he immediately scolded sternly: "Can you be mature and calm down?" Once something happens like this, how can it become a big thing in the future? And isn't there no blood relationship? What's in it? You are still brought up by me, as long as you recognize me as an old man, you and I are still the grandfather, and the same is a family. And"

When Zhang Xin said this, he looked at Li Yan with a complicated expression and said: "Actually, when I told you about your life experience today, it's not that you think that there will be relatives to pick you up, if they really come back, I will still let you be here now, you and I will chat?" ”

"And today I'm talking about your parents, but you are actually a child I rescued when I was out and about, and your parents were dead back then. So it's impossible for your biological parents to come back to pick you up, but you should still have relatives. ”

Li Yan was originally excited, but after hearing Zhang Xin say that no one would come to pick him up, and the two of them were still a family, he gradually calmed down his mood.

Because what Zhang Xin said is right, isn't there no blood relationship, in this world, because there are countless babies who were abandoned during the war, and there are many people who have been adopted, and these adopted children are not regarded as their own children by others, so Li Yan also felt that he had lost his temper just now.

But then I heard that my parents were dead, and I was very happy in my heart. If Li Yan was abandoned by his parents, when he heard about his death, he sighed at most, but Zhang Xin said that he saved himself, and obviously he didn't hate his parents so much, after all, it was possible to die to protect himself, or he was killed because of other things, so he didn't want to hate the rest too much.

And Zhang Xin said that he saved him, obviously something happened in this, and Zhang Xin still knew.

Li Yan, who calmed down, sorted out the reason, and looked at Zhang Xin to see what Zhang Xin had to say.

And Zhang Xin saw that Li Yan was no longer excited, so he nodded and said: "I know that you must be very curious to know what happened back then, since you want to know, then sit down and let me talk slowly." ”

Saying this, Zhang Xin motioned for Li Yan to sit down. Li Yan was too excited to stand up because he heard that Zhang Xin was not his own grandfather, and when he saw Zhang Xin's signal, he laughed twice and sat down.

After Zhang Xin saw Li Yan sit down, he said slowly: "When I was in the previous dynasty, after I was lifted, I gave up the scientific examination, and then I began to travel in the great rivers and mountains of the Tang Dynasty, and I arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. I have made a lot of like-minded people in Jiangnan, including Grandpa Daiwudai, who taught you kung fu. ”

"After I got acquainted with these people in Jiangnan, I traveled with some people, and sometimes I even went on chivalrous acts together and helped some people in need. Later, for a period of time, we passed through Xuzhou and learned a great news in Xuzhou. ”

"That is the governor of Xuzhou, who is using his power to sell children and girls. So I stopped in Xuzhou with my group. This stay was almost four months. ”

"In the past five months, we went to investigate the Xuzhou Governor, but after our long investigation, we did not find any useful clues and evidence. This governor of Xuzhou can be said to be rigorous in his work, and we have no way. ”

"But if you want no one to know, you can't do it unless you do. While we're looking into this, there's someone else looking into it, and that's your parents. ”

"Your parents started investigating when we arrived in Xuzhou. And when your mother was pregnant, she was pregnant with you. So a lot of things are your father investigating. And we are both in this matter, so we both perceive each other. ”

"However, I don't know what the reason is, your parents are secretly investigating, and they were noticed by the Governor of Xuzhou. Design a bureau for your parents. This round is the day you were born. ”

"In the first ten days of your birth, the Xuzhou Governor seems to have mastered your mother's traces, but both of your parents are strong martial artists, in order to prevent your parents from escaping, so the plan is on the day you were born."

"You know, after a mother gives birth, her body will enter a period of weakness, and your father will definitely be by your side for the safety of your mother and child, so this is the best time. And it just happens to get a baby, so it's a double thing. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have been born at noon that day. And in the afternoon, the captain's men will be killed where your parents live. And your parents thought that you were born, so they relaxed their vigilance around them, and only after the people were killed, did they find out that there were traces of those people, and it was too late at this time. ”

"Your father was hacked to death with a knife in order to cover your escape with your mother. And your mother, because after giving birth to you, entered a period of weakness, and has not yet recovered, she has not escaped far, and she has been overtaken. ”

"And we came to congratulate you after you were born, but who knew that when you came to your parents' house, they saw that something was wrong, and after making inquiries, they learned that your father had been killed, and that your mother had fled with you. Our group followed the route you had fled. When it was dark, I found your tracks. ”

"When we arrived, your mother was alone with a dozen or so men. If it weren't for the fact that you had entered a period of weakness and wanted to protect you, your mother would have been able to cope with these more than ten people, but her physical strength was not enough, and she had to protect you, under the siege of a group of people, she was injured in many places all over her body, and the whole person was crumbling, and in order to protect, you were completely struggling to persevere. ”

"When we arrived, we hurriedly took action and got rid of all those people. However, when these people are dealt with, your mother is already dying, and soon after seeing us again, she handed you over to us, and there is no life. ”

"So, you are a child of me, you and I have no blood relationship, but this is nothing, there is no blood relationship, we are closer than blood relations, so don't be entangled by these bonds, as long as your own friendship is true, and the friendship with others for you is true, then it is not true, and it will come true."

When Zhang Xin said this, his tone became meaningful.

Li Yan became quiet and listened to Zhang Xin talk about his parents, and when he heard that his parents were killed in order to investigate the case of the trafficking of children and girls by the governor of Xuzhou, he felt very uncomfortable.

After all, this is a feat of saving people, saving dozens of hundreds, or even thousands, of people, without carrying the merciless harm of people who have no moral concept.

made Li Yan, who originally didn't have much affection for his parents, heard this, and the part of his heart was loosened, and it was because his mother was taken advantage of by others when she gave birth to herself.

In other words, he indirectly killed his parents. If it weren't for himself, his parents wouldn't have died, but it was because he was born that day that such a tragedy happened. As soon as Li Yan thought of this, his heart was even more uncomfortable.

Although Li Yan didn't feel very good in his heart, he really wanted to know what the final result would be for this captain, who was still his parents. So he asked, "What did the lieutenant who killed my parents be revealed?" ”

"Is it revealed? Did you say it was exposed? When Zhang Xin heard Li Yan's question, he glanced at Li Yan angrily, and then recalled the past and said: "It was all to kill your parents, but it was not simply to find that your parents were investigating them, but to find some evidence, so I chose to kill your parents on the day you were born." It is precisely because they found the clues that we found all the evidence after we saved you, based on the evidence of your parents.

"And you and I, after saving you, I took you into hiding, but I didn't see it with my own eyes. But I heard you say on behalf of your grandfather, that Du Wei was to the emperor of the previous dynasty to Ling Chi, I heard that it was miserable, this can be regarded as a wicked person has a bad retribution. ”

Zhang Xin said this, and he was completely emotional. Think about it, a man who can be said to cover the sky in Xuzhou, the final result is torture, and it is difficult to die peacefully.

When Li Yan heard Zhang Xin say that the captain was dead, his heart relaxed slightly, but since Zhang Xin knew who his parents were, he should know where they were, so he asked, "Does Grandpa know where my parents are from?" ”

"Where are the people? I know that. When Zhang Xin heard Li Yan ask, he said directly: "In order to better investigate that matter, the two of us often made appointments to meet in order to expose this matter, so I still met your parents." I heard them say that it was the Li family, one of the five families in Longxi. And I also heard that it was your father who succeeded to the position of the head of the Li family, but he only wanted to travel the world, so he gave up the position of successor to the head of the family. ”

"At that time, I still knew a little about the Li family in Longxi. Originally, there were only four major families in Longxi, but later the prestige and strength of the Li family could be compared with the other four major families, and they also squeezed into the ranks of the big families and became the fifth largest family in Longxi. "

Zhang Xin said this, he paused, looked at Li Yan with a strange look and continued: "Soon after saving you, the peasant uprising began to appear in the previous dynasty, and the Li family in Longxi, not long after, also raised troops in Taiyuan to establish themselves as kings, and then slowly the previous dynasty collapsed, forming a situation of multiple kings juxtaposed, but among these many kings, the Li family soldiers and horses are the strongest, and the leader of the Li family's soldiers and horses is the current Tang Emperor, Li Shimin. ”

"After many wars, the Li family eliminated all the grass kings and became the only lord in the world. Speaking of this, you should understand one thing, that is, you are the current royal family, and you are also the cousin of the current Tang Emperor. ”

Li Yan was very surprised when he heard that he was from Longxi, even if he knew his hometown, but he was surprised to hear that his father was from a big family. But it's nothing, when I heard that it was still the current royal family, I was even more shocked, and I didn't want to believe that what Zhang Xin said was true, after all, I just knew about my parents, but I didn't expect it to be related to the current royal family. It feels like it's all a joke. Not only is Zhang Xin joking with him, Li Yan even thinks that God is also joking with him, because this is too ridiculous.

Zhang Xin didn't say anything when he saw Li Yan's disbelieving expression, after all, this was indeed too shocking. If he didn't know this, even he might not believe it was true at this time, not only did he not believe it, but even if a person heard this, he felt that it was not true, because this is a thing that no one can accept.

However, this matter is, whether you don't believe it or don't believe it, it's all a fact, so this matter can't be said by Li Yan.

Zhang Xin looked at Li Yan and said with a complicated expression: "Actually, after saving you, I was also selfish, and according to normal circumstances, I would have sent you back to the Li family in Longxi, but I didn't." You also know that because I have traveled abroad in this life, I have not married a wife, so I have no heirs, and I left you behind, so that after I am old, there is someone who will support me in my old age. However, today the girl from the Tang family asked her parents, and judging by it, they should have noticed something. Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said anything about it. ”

"So if you want to blame this thing, blame me, after all, it's my fault." After Zhang Xin said this, his expression and face suddenly felt much older, which made his gray hair even whiter.

After Li Yan knew the cause and effect of this matter, he immediately fell silent, and Zhang Xin was also silent with a desolate expression. After a long time, Li Yancai grinned, looked at Zhang Xin and said: "Grandpa said it was funny, how could I blame you, and over the years, grandpa has taken me like a grandson, so no matter what you try, you will always be my grandfather." If I really recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors in the future, when my clan relatives ask, my grandfather will forget to know that my parents are from the Li family in Longxi. ”

"And I am also casual, if I also go to the court and am recognized, I will recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, if I am not recognized, I will also be an ordinary boy."

When Li Yan said this, he hugged Zhang Xin, and said with a smile that he didn't care at all: "And even if you really recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors in the future, grandpa's pension will still be handed over to me, after all, I am your grandson." ”

Zhang Xin, who suddenly looked a lot older, heard what Li Yan said, and slowly recovered a little blood, and after hearing that even if he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, he would still support himself for the elderly, and his eyes, which had not shed tears, also appeared faint tears, and he couldn't say a word after looking at Li Yan for a long time.

But in the end, he said, "With your words, it's enough." But you're right, if they recognize your identity, you recognize your ancestors, if you don't recognize it, don't show your identity, because in the royal family, and in the court, there are too many fights, I'm afraid that if you are a little careless, you will be doomed, after all, you are not open there, so you have no own power. ”

Li Yan nodded when he heard Zhang Xin's words, indicating that he remembered it.

In the following time, Li Yan and Zhang Xin also chatted. But before telling Li Yan's life experience, it was not so hot. The two lacked interest in chatting, and the atmosphere was not cold.

And just when the two of them couldn't talk anymore, the rescuers came. Seeing that Chen Meng was still a little distance away from them, he shouted: "Childe, is that thing okay to start?" ”

When Li Yan and Zhang Xin didn't know what to say, when they heard Chen Meng's voice, their hearts immediately lowered slightly, and they thought: It's really time to come, if you go to save people, it's also so timely, it will be good.

However, the two of them are also very grateful to Chen Meng for coming at this time. Otherwise, you really don't know what you're talking about.

When Zhang Xin saw it, he looked at Li Yan and said lightly: "Go ahead, this matter must be done well, otherwise you are really a little dangerous, after all, people will do anything under extreme madness, so be careful, I can't help you anything." ”

Zhang Xin told Li Yan, Li Yan nodded when he heard this, got up and left directly. Zhang Xin looked at Li Yan's figure leaving, his expression was extremely complicated, it could be said that he had mixed tastes, but there was no way to do it.

Because of this incident, it can be said that letting Li Yan follow Tang Shishi to the county town is the most wrong thing he has done, if he is in this village, Li Yan may not know about his life experience.

But he also felt that this was the right decision, because he couldn't let Li Yan waste his talent in such a place, and like today, if it had been before, Li Yan might not have been able to handle this matter alone.

Li Yan left Zhang Xin and came to Chen Meng's face, I don't know what Zhang Xin's expression and thoughts were in his heart after he left.

Li Yan glanced at Chen Meng and said, "This matter is not urgent, it is not time yet, just pull them out before we leave." But we can't put them in a conspicuous place, but we can't let them wake up and find their way, otherwise we will be delayed. ”

When Chen Meng heard Li Yan's words, he nodded in agreement. But then it will come: "Childe has nothing else to do besides leaving safely?" ”

Li Yan was planning this matter, and when he heard Chen Meng's question, he glanced at Chen Meng, nodded and said, "Yes, I want to use this horse to fly and blackmail Ma Gui, how much do you say it will cost?" When Li Yan said this, he laughed maliciously.

Chen Meng just guessed that Li Yan might still have a plan, and when he heard Li Yan say it himself, he was slightly surprised. Because he really didn't believe that a person who had not experienced any fighting and conspiracy would actually think about blackmailing a sum of money before leaving safely.

This kind of practice is completely the practice of people who have been in the officialdom for more than ten years, or those who grew up in powerful families, and Li Yan, who grew up in the countryside, really shouldn't have such an idea.

However, Chen Meng knew that this should be after Ma Yifei said that he had an industry in his family, and Li Yan might have such an idea, otherwise Li Yan would have passed directly and safely. If this is the case, when Ma Gui knows, he can only beat his own pit father son who knows how to cause trouble.
